Famous quotes containing the word girl:

    I don’t think the question needs to be genderized. It would feel great to anyone. But whether you’re a girl or a boy or a Martian, you still have to go out and prove yourself again every day.
    Julie Krone (b. 1963)

    Girls who put out are tramps. Girls who don’t are ladies. This is, however, a rather archaic usage of the word. Should one of you boys happen upon a girl who doesn’t put out, do not jump to the conclusion that you have found a lady. What you have probably found is a lesbian.
    Fran Lebowitz (b. 1951)

    I’m going out and get a girl for my picture, even if I have to marry one.
    —James Creelman. Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack. Carl Denham (Robert Armstrong)
